Setting the drying intensity

This setting allows you to further adjust the drying intensity according to your laundry items.

The drying intensity cannot be set for every cycle. On the display (4), the symbol for drying intensity will indicate which cycle is being supported by this setting.

For this setting, the drying time increases in steps of 5 minutes. The drying intensity must be set before starting a cycle.

1. Select your desired cycle.

2. To set the drying intensity, press the button for drying intensity (14) repeatedly until you arrive at your desired drying intensity.

3. Press the Start/Pause button (2) to begin the cycle.

Switching the "SpeedDry" setting On/Off

- To switch the "SpeedDry" setting on or off, press the "SpeedDry" button (11). The symbol appears on the display (4).

Activating/deactivating sound

By default, the dryer will play sounds, e.g. when the cycle selector is turned, the settings buttons are pressed, or the drying process is complete.

- Press the button for the buzzer (12) to activate or deactivate the sound function.

Setting the anti-crease feature

This feature helps ensure clothes stay crease-free after the drying process. By default, the anti-crease phase will run for 30 minutes after the drying process. The duration can be increased up to 120 minutes.

The laundry can be removed during the anti-crease phase.

The anti-crease feature can be set for all cycles except for Cool and Airing.

- Press the button for anti-crease (13) to set the anti-crease feature.

Switching button lock on/off

The dryer is equipped with a special button lock to prevent e.g. children from accidentally pressing buttons and interrupting the drying process, for example. The button lock can be activated only when a cycle is already running.

• To activate the button lock, press and hold both the button for anti-crease feature (13) and the button for the buzzer (12) simultaneously for 3 seconds.
  The button lock symbol will appear on the display. All buttons and the cycle selector will be disabled, with the exception of the On/Off button (1).

Tips for drying

Preparation

Before being dried in the dryer, laundry items must be thoroughly spin-dried in a washing machine. The high spin speed can reduce the clothes dryer's drying time and energy consumption.

For an even drying result, the laundry must be sorted according to fabric type and drying cycle.

Items such as zips, hook-and-eye closures, buttons and belts found on clothing must be closed before the drying process.

Sorting laundry

The drying instructions of the textile manufacturer/the international care symbols on the labels contain precise information about how to handle each piece of laundry.

- Sort the laundry according to the instructions on the respective labels.

Special materials

• Do not dry any items with rubber or other elastic rubber-like materials.
• Thick or multi-layer laundry items (bedclothes, jackets, etc.) are difficult to dry. For such items, you should use the “Cotton Extra-Dry” cycle or adjust the drying duration and intensity accordingly.
• Outdoor jackets made of modern synthetic materials must be treated with special care. Before drying such a jacket in the dryer, find out the appropriate dryer settings from its manufacturer.

Other tips

• Do not dry your clothes excessively, as creases can form easily on over-dried clothes.
• If you notice that some of the clothes are still damp after drying, try to dry them separately the next time using another cycle.

The correct quantity

The amount of clothes you can put in the drum depends on the type of clothes you are drying.

Touching live parts may result in severe injury or death.

■ Always unplug the power cord before cleaning the appliance.
■ Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by its cord, but always take hold of the mains plug.
■ Never spray the appliance with a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner.

Health hazard!

Consuming the condensate may be hazardous to health.

■ Never drink the condensate.

NOTICE

Risk of damage to property!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage.

• Do not wash with harsh or abrasive detergents. They can damage the surfaces or make the rubber sleeve brittle and fragile.
• Do not use pointed, sharp or angular objects for cleaning the rubber sleeve. They can damage the rubber sleeves and make them leaky.

Regular checks

A few simple and regular checks can save you from unpleasant surprises. Check regularly whether the drum is free of foreign objects.

Cleaning the door

- Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the inside and outside of the door (6) and rubber sleeve (17), and then wipe them both dry.

Cleaning the drum

- Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the inside of the drum, and then wipe it dry.

Emptying the condensate drawer

The condensate drawer (10) must be emptied after every use. If the condensate drawer (10) is full, the cycle will stop and the symbol 📋 will appear. After emptying the condensate drawer (10), you can press the Start/Pause button (2) to resume the cycle.

Installation and connection

Transport

CAUTION!

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in injury.

■ The appliance is heavy. Never transport or carry it alone, rather always with at least two persons.

! NOTICE

Risk of damage to property!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage.

• If a trolley is used to move the appliance, the appliance must be lifted as shown on the packaging. If the dryer cannot be transported upright, ensure that it is not tilted more than 30°.
  ■ Exercise caution when moving the appliance. Do not lift or pull the dryer by any of its protruding parts. The dryer door must not be used as a carrying handle.
• Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding door, or a door with a hinge located opposite the appliance's door hinge such that it prevents the dryer's door from fully opening.

- Check whether the paths of transport and the installation location are suitable for the weight of the dryer. If in doubt, ask your landlord or property management.

Installing the dryer

- Read the “Safety” chapter from page EN-4.

Requirements for safe set-up

• The installation site must be frost-proof.
  – Ideally, the dryer should be installed next to your washing machine.
• The ground must be secure, even, clean and dry. The dryer must not be placed on a surface that is sloping, flexible or uneven.
• It is not appropriate to have a rug or carpet under the appliance, as the appliance will not be ventilated well enough and can overheat. The floor clearance must not be restricted by objects such as carpets and wood strips.
• Ensure that air can circulate freely in the dryer's immediate surroundings.
• The ventilation grilles on the dryer's front and back must not be obstructed.
• The feet must not be removed from the dryer.
  – The mains plug must also be easily accessible after the appliance has been set up.

Levelling the dryer

1. Use a spirit level to check whether the dryer is level.
2. To level the dryer, use your hand or a spanner to turn the levelling feet inwards or outwards. To adjust a levelling foot – turn anticlockwise to unscrew; – turn clockwise to screw in.
3. Repeat this for the other levelling feet until the dryer is level and stable.

Creating an electrical connection

WARNING!

Risk of electric shock!

Touching live parts may result in severe injury or death.

• Do not put into operation if the mains cord is faulty or the appliance displays other visible damage.
  ■ Never connect the appliance via a multi-socket or an extension cord.

- Plug the mains plug into a properly installed and earthed electric socket that has been sufficiently secured (220–240 V\~, 50 Hz, 16 A).

Before first use

1. Clean the drum's interior using a soft cloth.
2. Place a few clean dry cloths into the drum.
3. Press the On/Off button (1). The display will light up.
4. Select the "Airing" cycle using the cycle selector (5).
5. Press the Start/Pause button (2) to begin the cycle.
6. After the cycle is complete, follow the instructions in chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on page EN-19.
